Browsing the local bookstore, the above title immediately caught my eye. I had to peruse the paperback immediately and liked what I saw.
Purchased book in hand, I headed to my car, drove to a scenic spot and began reading right away. I stayed long enough to finish the whole book in an hour and a half and learned much about myself and interpersonal relationships in the world around me.
The author, Richard Carlson, Ph.D., is a frequent lecturer and stress consultant in private practice in Northern California, USA. His book has been No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list for several weeks.
The book is a hands-on reference guide. In 100 short, easy to read essays, the author shows the reader how you can keep little things in your life from driving you crazy. There are strategies that make it possible for all of us to calm ourselves in our incredibly hurried life and keep stress to a minimum.
Dr. Carlson’s gentle, supportive suggestions encourage introspection and reveals ways to make all of our actions in daily life more peaceful and caring, with the added benefit of making life more serene.
Essay 24 is one of my favorites: begin each day by thinking of someone to thank! It is something so simple, does not cost anything, and is a manifestation that gratitude and inner peace go hand in hand.
This simple act makes you feel good, and might just make the day for the one we thank.
When I ordered a sandwich at a fast food drive-through yesterday, the unseen clerk’s voice sounded particularly melodious. I told him, “You have the pleasant voice of a TV announcer.”
When I finally saw him, he grinned from ear to ear and told me that this is the nicest thing anyone had told him all week. He was one of the homeliest young men I had seen in a long time, but was overjoyed someone affirmed him. His inner beauty shone.
Most of the advice in Dr. Carlson’s book transcend all cultures and enter the spiritual realm as well—all valid affirmations for me that his writing has universal appeal, and the solutions he proposes are applicable worldwide.
The popularity of this volume has spawned more books as 100 best inspirations, a teen journal, dealing with money, the vicissitudes of love, family life, and work life.
“Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff…and it’s all Small Stuff: Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things From Taking Over Your Life” by Richard Carlson, Ph.D, (1997) is published by Hyperion.
